"Manchester United are set to complete the signing of the Germany striker Lea Schuller on a permanent transfer from Bayern Munich. Schuller, who has six months left on her contract, has been a prolific goalscorer for club and country, scoring more than 100 goals for Bayern and 54 times in 82 games for her country, and she will be seen as a marquee signing for the Women's Super League side."
"She has been very consistent in front of goal in Germany's top flight for seven consecutive seasons up to and including last term, Schuller reached at least a double-figures tally of league goals, winning the Golden Boot in 2021-22 with 16 goals. Securing Schuller's signature comes at a time when United appear to be gathering momentum. After qualifying for the Champions League knockout phase playoffs in a seeded position thanks to an away victory over Juventus, they beat Tottenham in the League Cup quarter-finals."
Manchester United will sign Germany striker Lea Schuller permanently from Bayern Munich, with all transfer paperwork finalised. Schuller has six months remaining on her Bayern contract and has scored more than 100 goals for the club and 54 goals in 82 games for Germany. The 28-year-old reached double-figure league-goal tallies for seven consecutive Frauen-Bundesliga seasons and won the 2021-22 Golden Boot with 16 goals. Her exit followed an emotional appearance applauding Bayern supporters after a match. The signing should strengthen United’s forward line as the club gains momentum domestically and in Europe, while also adding Hanna Lundkvist and extending Hinata Miyazawa.
